Move input file based on condition
Hello,

I have File1 in a directory A, a File2 in a directory B.

If the File2 is not empty
Then I have to move File1 from directory A to a directory archive
Else no action.

Is it possible to do this from one command line?

Thank you in advance for your answers.

Madi

Something like this?
Code:
[ -s /B/File2 ] && mv /A/File1 /archive_dir

Yes, something like this.

Thank you very much, it's a solution to remember.

For the moment it's not working within Ab Initio but it's working fine from the command line.
